Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

Even the black and white Lolita dress she was wearing had several pieces of fabric burned off.

Even selling yourself wouldn't be enough to pay for that box of cards!

"It's over, it's over..."

The embarrassment she felt made her so nervous she could hardly breathe. Her palms started sweating, her heart was racing, and her mind was a mess. She tried to suppress her fear and find a solution.

“That’s right, equivalent bargaining chips.” Luo Bai’s cold voice once again assaulted her eardrums.

Back when this card was on Earth, it would have sold for at least 300 yuan.

(One box costs 300 yuan~ After opening, it becomes 30 yuan~ See you on the rooftop. BGM)

"I..." Melonica's eyes reddened, and she hesitated, feeling wronged.

The card box containing the power of the progenitor is a once-in-a-lifetime find, but at the same time she realized that she had no equivalent bargaining chips. This cruel fact stirred up a feeling of powerlessness and frustration in her heart.

"No way, you can't even come up with 300 yuan (gold points)?" Luo Bai felt a pang of anxiety.

Running away from home?

Rebellious girl?

Penniless?

"Then let's not place any bets, just play normally and make some friends," Luo Bai said with a sigh after thinking for a while.

They originally planned to raise the price to 500 gold points.

As a result, I encountered someone who had run away from home.

He had no intention of giving away the card box for free.

He's the store manager, not a philanthropist.

"No, I have to get this card box!" Melonica roared, then her face turned extremely awkward, and she stammered, "If you, if you win, I'll do whatever you want with me."

"Whatever you want, I... I'll give it to you."

"Give me whatever you want?" Luo Bai raised an eyebrow slightly, uttering a devilish greeting.

His gaze boldly swept over her from head to toe.

Tsk, there's nothing of value in it, and the clothes are burned to smithereens. I don't even know if anyone would want it if I packed it up and sent it away.

"Enough talk, let's duel!" Melonica shouted, pulling out her deck as if she had finally made up her mind, a resolute glint in her eyes.

Overwhelming momentum!

"Hehehe...then I don't need to pretend to be a gentleman anymore." Luo Bai gave a wicked smile.

"Let's duel, young lady!"

The two men, each holding a card deck, sat imposingly at opposite ends of the wooden table.

Luo Bai was incredibly embarrassed when she suddenly realized there was no cushioning.

"Would you... make do with this?"

Ugh, how embarrassing!!!

If the person opposite her were a grown man, that would be fine, but judging from her clothes, she looks more like a noble lady.

“I brought the cushion,” Melonika said softly.

Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief, but felt even more embarrassed.

It's like going to meet your girlfriend's parents, and after walking in in front of them, you realize you didn't bring a gift, and then... your girlfriend thoughtfully picks up a bag of fruit from her own home and hands it over as a gift.

It can be awkward for two months.

Melonika couldn't see his expression and had no idea what he was thinking.

With a blank expression, he pulled out a double-sized cardboard mat from the supercomputing ring.

Red and blue cushions were laid out on the wooden table, with more than twenty squares flashing blue light from the passing electricity, emitting a clear "beep beep beep" sound.

There is a red/blue button next to each of the two [card deck] slots.

There is a palm-sized LCD screen in the middle of the pad.

There are eight function buttons of different sizes around the display screen.

It looks incredibly high-tech.

Luo Bai stared blankly as he admired the scene, his hands unconsciously shuffling and cutting through his deck.

Meanwhile, Melonica, sitting opposite her, placed her deck into the [Deck] slot and pressed the red button.

A small square frame rises up from the mat, into which a deck can be placed for automatic shuffling and cutting.

"Holy crap..."

Before, when Luo Bai stood next to Melonika, he always felt like a country bumpkin. Now he was certain that he really was a country bumpkin.

"Are cartridge pads this high-tech now...?"

He murmured softly, and like Melonica, placed his deck into the [Deck] slot and pressed the blue button next to it to automatically shuffle and cut.

It's so smart, so cool, and so convenient.

If he had just one of these mats in his shop, the customer traffic would explode, and he would never have to go out of business.

In that instant, he confirmed it.

He finally knew what he could get from Melonika, and his gaze turned sharp and wicked.

The nature of the duel has changed.

We have no choice but to win!

drop!

Melonica thought for a moment, then typed "4000" on the central display screen and pressed the red button next to it. The country bumpkin Luo Bai followed suit, typing "4000" and pressing the blue button next to it.

4000 is probably the base score. I rarely play that. I usually play with 8000 points in real games. But it doesn't matter, I won't play unless I'm completely broke.

The dueling arena is now set up.

[8-second chain query, 15-second maximum operation interval, 3 checks, 1 pause]

[Duel Begins]

The red side goes first.

Suddenly, a metal wire about the size of a little finger rose from each side of the mat, followed by a series of cold, mechanical voices that startled him.

At the very top of the two metal wires, red and blue lights flashed respectively.

These are two cameras, which also function as an intelligent referee. They can record video, make judgments, and prevent cheating.

The duel begins, and both sides draw five.

After Melonica, the red player, got the first attack, she hesitated and kept looking around aimlessly.

He would glance at the card box on the counter, look at his own hand, and then look up at the counter.

"Did you get stuck?"

Luo Bai thought to himself.

The vampire deck seems to have quite a few dynamic elements.

Melonica glanced again at the card box on the shopkeeper's counter, confirming that the ancestral call and heartbeat were still there.

The store manager who can produce this card box is no ordinary person; we cannot be careless.

"But I've also reached the regional semifinals!"

Melonica made up her mind, furrowed her brows, took a deep breath, and said:

"My turn, summon [Minotaur]."

She placed the magic card in the monster section of the card holder, and a miniature 3D projection of a minotaur holding a wooden hammer appeared, about the size of a regular figurine.

The projection is dynamic.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait..."

Luo Bai quickly stopped her from doing anything further.

There are just too many things to complain about.

This is my first time seeing Magic Cards up close, and they're so dazzling!

"Your mat even has a 3D projection feature? What high-tech stuff? It must be expensive."

He felt it was a bit much to ask for the card mat just for playing cards, since the mat didn't look cheap.

He was a store manager, though not a philanthropist.

But they weren't robbers either.

Play around as you please, but don't joke about your family's assets.

As for why she summoned [Minotaur] instead of Sing-Along or Ghostly Specter, Luo Bai guessed that she probably had a bad hand.

“It’s not expensive, only 50,000…” Melonica looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if he were a caveman, and for a moment he didn’t know how to explain.

After successfully certifying yourself as a "Duelist" at the "Company," you can receive a free Smart Card Pad. You can buy one directly for 50,000 Gold Points. This is common knowledge in Biantana.

"Fifty thousand isn't expensive? Miss's values ​​are just different." Luo Bai was stunned, not yet back to the values ​​of an ordinary Earthling, and smiled awkwardly but politely, "Hehe, you can continue."

In the duel rewind, Melonica pointed at the monster card and said:

"I activate the effect of [Minotaur]: Once per turn, send 1 Zombie-Type monster from my Deck to the Graveyard..."

“Yes,” Luo Bai replied.

Melonica paused for a moment, then continued, "The Minotaur's effect: I send [Vampire's Familiar] to the Graveyard, and the [Vampire Familiar] discarded from my hand activates the effect of [Vampire's Familiar], Special Summoning it from the Graveyard..."

"Wait a minute," Luo Bai interrupted, "Follow the chain, throw a G."

Having said that, he discarded the [G of Multiplication] card from his hand.

Melonica frowned in response, her expression turning serious as she asked, "What is the effect of this [Proliferating G]?"

"hiss..."
